The June 15 episode of WWE RAW opened with complete chaos as Roman Reigns officially welcomed Jacob Fatu into The Bloodline. But the celebration took a shocking turn when comedian and actor Eric André ended up becoming Fatu’s target.
André came to RAW expecting to enjoy the show from the front row. Instead, he became the latest victim of Roman Reigns’ leadership, as Fatu unleashed a vicious attack on the celebrity guest.
Roman Reigns orders Jacob Fatu to finish Eric André
The segment began with Reigns standing in the ring alongside The Usos and Jacob Fatu. Reigns praised Jey Uso for his ongoing King of the Ring run before asking the Baltimore crowd to acknowledge him.
Jey Uso then told Jacob Fatu to show respect to both him and Jimmy. Fatu refused. “The only person that I acknowledge is the OTC,” Fatu said.
His comments created an awkward moment, but Reigns didn’t see it as disrespect. Instead, he viewed it as proof of Fatu’s loyalty. Reigns then introduced a new Ula Fala and officially welcomed Fatu into The Bloodline.
But what looked like a heartfelt ceremony quickly turned into something far more violent.
As The Bloodline started leaving the ring, cameras showed Eric André sitting at ringside. Andre, who stars alongside Roman Reigns in the upcoming Street Fighter movie, appeared to be enjoying the show like any other celebrity guest. Reigns shook hands with André and had a small chat. Jey refused André’s fist bump, whereas Jimmy shook his hands.
As Fatu was passing him, André patted Fatu and touched his Ula Fala.
Perceiving it as disrespect, Fatu grabbed André from his seat, pulled him over the barricade, threw him into the ring, and launched a vicious beatdown. Security rushed over.
Instead of ending the attack, Roman encouraged Fatu to continue. Fatu climbed to the top rope and crushed André with a splash.
For a moment, it seemed like Reigns tried to calm Fatu down. But then, the OTC told him to go back up and finish the deal.
Fatu immediately obeyed, hitting André with another splash from the ropes, leaving the comedian rolling around the ring in pain and struggling to recover.
As they finally walked away, the OTC delivered a warning to anyone thinking about challenging The Bloodline.
“If you want it, you can get it. We don’t want to do it, but if you push us, if you force our hand, we will take you out of here,” Reigns said.
